Solsiree del Moral Estudios Culturales nation empire jíbaros teachers Puerto Rico U.S. sugar corporations transformed the early-twentieth-century Puerto Rican economy. None of the changes favored small farm - ers and laborers. By the 1920s, the effects of U.S. colonial practices included land consolidation, the transformation of small farmers into wage workers, and increases in levels of rural poverty and standards of living. However, educators emerged with a solution to the “rural problem.” They proposed the rural school was the key institution that could contribute to the transformation of rural families, social relationships, and the economy. Teachers, an important intermediate group in colonial society, promised the regeneration of the emerging “national” icon, the jíbaro , the man of the highlands. In this article I examine teachers’visions for national regeneration. 2013 artículo científico 0008-6533 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=39230911004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=392 Caribbean Studies application/pdf Universidad de Puerto Rico Caribbean Studies (Puerto Rico) Num.2 Vol.41 |
